In keeping with the principles of positive parenting, understood as parental actions based on the best interests of children and aimed at their overall development, self-determination theory (SDT) posits that it is the family that must satisfy three basic psychological needs: autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Owing to migratory movement, the wide range of cultures present in Spain, and the fact that the family is the preferred place to experience human relationships, this context seems to be an ideal setting for testing the apparent universality of SDT. Hence, the main objective of this study was to examine the parenting dimensions: autonomy (autonomy support vs psychological control), relatedness (warmth vs rejection), and competence (structure vs chaos) and their influence on children's behaviors in families from a wide range of international backgrounds. The sample comprised a total of 3428 parents and 1785 children attending primary education (7-13 years old) in eight autonomous communities in Spain. Information was collected using three standardized questionnaires, adapted and validated for the Spanish context. The results show that, regardless of family origin, there were higher scores in positive parenting dimensions (autonomy support, warmth, and structure) than negative dimensions (psychological control, rejection and chaos). The findings also indicate that warmth had a positive effect on children's behaviors while psychological control had a negative effect, as well as that there were some differences between certain geographical zones in warmth, structure, and chaos. Our study provides confirmation of the universality of the precepts of SDT and positive parenting in families from a wide range of geographical and cultural backgrounds in the Spanish context.

The choice of optional physical education could be conditioned by personal elements, such as goals or motivation, or contextual, such as perceived teaching behaviour. The aims of this study were to analyse the differences between students who chose (or not) Physical Education and to determine to what extent goal orientations, motivational regulations, and perceived teaching behaviors predict that decision. A sample of 756 adolescents from 14 public centres in Valencian Region enrolled in second grade of high school (Mage 17.06, SD = 0.75), of which 422 were girls (55.8%) participated in the study. Students who voluntarily chose Physical Education presented a different motivational profile, scored higher in all approximation goals (and avoidance), intrinsic motivation, identified and introjected and lower in amotivation. They also showed a marked profile in the teaching styles perceived in the subject in the past (support for autonomy and structured). Finally, the factor that best predicted this choice was the participatory behavior perceived by the student (teaching style supporting autonomy), followed by the orientation of the goal of approximation-task, dominant behaviors (negative), and intrinsic regulation.

El tránsito a la universidad implica en los estudiantes asumir una mayor autonomía en sus decisiones, roles y responsabilidades. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue describir los perfiles de bienestar en estudiantes universitarios de Psicología para evaluar la capacidad predictiva de la percepción de la autonomía en las dimensiones del bienestar en estudiantes universitarios de Psicología. Se empleó un diseño descriptivo, asociativo de tipo predictivo, con participación de 202 estudiantes (Mujeres=170; Hombres=32; edad M=19.0; DE=1.77). Los instrumentos empleados fueron el PERMA-Profiler para la evaluación del bienestar y el cuestionario de Autorregulación del Aprendizaje para la evaluación de la percepción de autonomía. Como resultado, sobre el 40% de los estudiantes reportaron de acuerdo con el baremo del PERMA-Profiler vivenciar alta frecuencia de emociones positivas, compromiso, relaciones positivas y propósito. Se identificaron correlaciones positivas y significativas entre las dimensiones del bienestar y la percepción de autonomía. El modelo de regresión evidenció que la autonomía explica el 11% del bienestar, F(1,201) = 26.194, P

Recientemente, se ha propuesto en el contexto educativo un modelo más integrador y detallado denominado enfoque circumplejo, que clasifica el estilo pedagógico (des)motivador en ocho enfoques (des)motivadores en función del grado de atención/frustración de las necesidades y de directividad. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha escasean los datos fácticos sobre el modo en que cada uno de los enfoques pedagógicos (des)motivadores puede estar relacionado con diferentes resultados (in)adaptados en el contexto de la EF. Sobre la base de este modelo circumplejo, el presente estudio pretende examinar las diferencias en el número de horas de EF deseadas por los alumnos en función de la percepción que estos tienen de los enfoques pedagógicos (des)motivadores. Una muestra intencional de 669 alumnos de secundaria (Medad= 14.65; DT = 1.47; 52 % chicas), con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 17 años, participó en este estudio transversal.Los resultados demuestran que los alumnos que desearían tener más y las mismas horas de EF que las habituales declararon percibir valores significativamente más altos en los enfoques participativo, sintonizador, orientador, aclarador y exigente de sus profesores de EF que los que deseaban menos horas de EF que las habituales. Además, los alumnos que afirmaron desear menos horas de EF de lo habitual percibían valores significativamente más altos del enfoque de abandono por parte de sus profesores de EF en comparación con los alumnos que deseaban una cantidad mayor o igual de horas de EF. Los resultados resaltaron la importancia de que los profesores de EF diseñen enfoques de refuerzo de la autonomía y estructuradores (participativos, sintonizadores, orientadores y aclaradores) y eviten los enfoques caóticos (enfoque de abandono) para fomentar los resultados afectivos de los alumnos adaptados.

Teacher autonomy support is related to improved student learning. In higher education, few studies relate classroom contextual factors, such as teacher emphasis on content usefulness, and students' motivational characteristics. The aim was to test a multilevel model about the relation between the extent of teachers' emphasis on the usefulness of class content with student autonomy, and, in turn, on motivation to learn. The participants were 3033 university students enrolled from 1st to 4th grade of Sciences of the Physical Activity and Sport, from universities in Spain (N = 602), Portugal (N = 469), Mexico (N = 1177), Chile (N = 372), and Brazil (N = 413). A multilevel structural equation model was performed, in which participants answered questions about the teacher's emphasis on the usefulness of class content, basic psychological need for autonomy, and motivation to learn. At the group and individual levels, the hypothesis is that the teacher's emphasis on the usefulness of class content predict the student autonomy, in turn, student autonomy predicts student motivation to learn. Results found at the group level and at the individual level the strength of teacher emphasis on class content predicted student autonomy; student autonomy predicted student motivation to learn.

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue analizar el poder de predicción del apoyo a la autonomía sobre las necesidades psicológicas básicas, la motivación, el rendimiento percibido de los deportistas y la intención de ser físicamente activos. Se empleó una muestra de 150 participantes con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 18 años (M = 14.75, DT = 1.83), procedentes de escuelas deportivas de las provincias de Huelva y Sevilla. Se usó la versión española del Cuestionario de Clima en el Deporte (S-SCQ), la Escala de las Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas en el Ejercicio (BPNES), el Cuestionario de Regulación Conductual en el Deporte (BRSQ), la Medida de la Intencionalidad de seguir siendo Físicamente Activo (IPAS) y el Cuestionario del Rendimiento Percibido en el Deporte (PPSQ). Los resultados del análisis de regresión mostraron que el apoyo a la autonomía adquirió un papel esencial en la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas. El apoyo a la autonomía, la competencia y la relación predijeron de forma positiva la regulación intrínseca. Además, la satisfacción de la relación predijo positivamente la regulación integrada y la regulación identificada. Por su parte, el apoyo a la autonomía, la competencia, la relación y la regulación integrada predijeron la intención de ser físicamente activo de forma positiva, explicando el 67% de la varianza. Por último, se encontró que la satisfacción de la competencia y la regulación externa predijeron de forma positiva el rendimiento percibido de los deportistas, explicando el 48% de la varianza.

Background: Academic satisfaction (AS) is a key marker of educational success at university. It is therefore extremely important to investigate any factors that may enhance AS. Drawing on social cognitive theory, Lent's model of life satisfaction, and self-determination theory, the present study examined the roles of academic self-efficacy (ASE) and type of motivation for attending university in AS, while controlling for sex and course year. More specifically, the study investigated whether friendships at university moderated the relationship between AS and ASE, and between AS and the various kinds of motivation for going to university. Method: A survey was completed by 431 Italian university students. Five moderation regression analyses were run. Results: Having friends at university affected the relationship between amotivation and AS and between extrinsic motivation and AS: the more students were motivated or had low extrinsic motivation, the more satisfied they were, if they had a high number of friends at university. Conversely, if students lacked motivation or had high extrinsic motivation, they tended to be less satisfied, regardless of how many friends they had at university. Conclusions: A large number of friends at university maximizes and amplifies the effect of being self-determined on AS. We discuss the educational implications of these findings.

A considerable body of organizational behaviour research has focused on positive and negative behaviours at the workplace and offered sufficient guidance regarding ways to improve the performance of employees in a stressful environment. While most of the above literature is based on all employees, this article has focused on a distinct group, i.e., young performing employees in organizations and how these individuals are likely to be intensely envied by existing co-workers. To test the proposed model, data were collected from 153 managerial-level employees and structural equation modelling was conducted using the Smart PLS software. The findings suggested that persistent exposure to intentionally created hindrance stressors encourages young performers to engage in deviant behaviour. The intervening role of workplace ostracism and emotional exhaustion was found to be significant in the negative process. Regarding the positive change process, findings suggested that strong leader member exchange is likely to facilitate young performers to see positive prospects of the hindrance stressors and develop harmonious passion among them.

In this article, we present a reflection on part of the Educational Product developed within the scope of the PPGECMT during the master's thesis work. We focus on a Didactic Activity of Rotation by Stations, centered on the theme "Cell." The structuring of the activity considered aspects related to fostering student autonomy and choice, as well as different supports for autonomy. The study focused on identifying and explaining the supports for autonomy promoted during the implementation of this activity in Science classes, in two 6th-grade classes of Elementary School. The main objective was to analyze how the activity's structure provides supports for organizational, procedural, and cognitive autonomy of the students. This study is part of a broader project that involves creating four Didactic Activities of Rotation by Stations, exploring different Science themes. Data collection was carried out through audio recordings and direct observations during execution. The results highlight contexts in which students exercised forms of autonomy, particularly in procedural and cognitive categories. This emphasizes the importance of providing didactic-pedagogical interactions that promote student autonomy, encouraging intrinsic interest and motivation, as well as favoring the collaborative construction of knowledge. Additionally, the replicability of this approach is emphasized, allowing for adaptations in various educational contexts, levels, and realities [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Toxic leadership has detrimental effects on subordinates and has been associated with several negative outcomes in organizations. This research aims to study the effects of toxic leadership dimensions (abusive supervision, authoritarianism, narcissism, self-promotion and unpredictability) on followers' work motivation by using Self-Determination Theory to approach work motivation. Angola faces significant social development challenges that are dependent upon the quality of leadership. Two hundred and nineteen people, aged 30 and 65 years, participated in this research from Angolan organizations in different industry sectors. The Toxic Leadership Scale and Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale were used. Correlation and regression analyses were performed. The narcissism dimension of toxic leadership and the identified regulation of work motivation had the highest scores. Leaders' narcissism was positively correlated with external material and introjected motivation; self-promotion with introjected and intrinsic motivation. All dimensions of toxic leadership were positively correlated with amotivation. Finally, abusive supervision negatively predicts introjected regulation, and narcissism predicts positively material regulation of work motivation. These relationships were interpreted as the effect of toxic leadership dimensions on work motivation dimensions. Leadership development programs should focus on preventing toxic leadership in order to positively impact the followers' autonomous regulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: La teoría de la autodeterminación representa un marco para comprender los factores que facilitan la motivación académica, constructo relevante para los contextos educativos. Uno de los instrumentos más utilizados para medir el constructo es el cuestionario de autorregulación académica (SRQ-A), pero se carece de antecedentes psicométricos sobre la evaluación de este modelo de medida en su versión en español. Objetivo: Evaluar la estructura factorial, consistencia interna y validez del cuestionario de autorregulación académica (SQR-A) en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios chilenos. Método: Los participantes fueron 808 estudiantes de dos universidades chilenas. El modelo de medida se evaluó mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC). La validez y confiabilidad se evaluaron mediante la varianza media extraída y la fiabilidad compuesta. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que el modelo de medida de cuatro factores presenta niveles de ajuste adecuados, además de niveles adecuados de validez y consistencia interna. Conclusión: La versión en español del SQR-A constituye una medida útil para ser aplicada en contextos de educación superior.

Siguiendo la teoría de la autodeterminación, el objetivo del estudio fue analizar si la percepción del alumnado sobre el apoyo a las necesidades psicológicas básicas (autonomía, competencia y relación social) y el estilo controlador (interno y externo) del profesorado predicen las experiencias del alumnado en las clases de educación física. Participaron 942 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y Bachillerato (M = 14.37; DT = 1.55; 50.3% chicas y 49.7% chicos). Los resultados mostraron que el apoyo a la relación social predijo positivamente las experiencias del alumnado, mientras que el estilo controlador interno las predijo de forma negativa. El alumnado que experimentó experiencias “muy malas” y “malas”, mostró los valores más bajos de percepción de apoyo a las necesidades psicológicas básicas y los más elevados de estilo controlador interno y externo, mientras que lo contrario ocurrió en el alumnado que reportó experiencias “muy buenas”. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de que el profesorado de educación física adopte un estilo motivacional en el que apoye las tres necesidades psicológicas básicas y evite el uso de un estilo controlador para generar experiencias más positivas en su alumnado.

Este estudio analiza las diferencias en las variables psicosociales en función del estilo de enseñanza interpersonal en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria. Este estudio descriptivo de corte transversal se realizó con una muestra compuesta por 120 estudiantes, de 12 a 17 años (M = 13.4, DT = 1.36). Se completó una batería de cuestionarios validados para analizar la motivación, las necesidades psicológicas básicas, el clima social escolar, la satisfacción deportiva y el estilo interpersonal de enseñanza, que actuó como variable para elaborar los perfiles de clúster. El análisis del dendrograma sugirió la creación de dos perfiles, el primero, “soporte de alta autonomía” y el segundo, “estilo de alto control”. El análisis multivariado mostró valores más altos para el primer perfil en autonomía, competencia, relación social, clima docente y diversión, mientras que el segundo perfil fue más alto en desmotivación y aburrimiento. Se concluye que un mayor apoyo a la autonomía permitió una mayor satisfacción de las variables psicológicas adaptativas.

La Teoría de la Autodeterminación (TAD) reconoce diferentes tipos de motivación, a lo largo de un continuo según el grado de autorregulación del comportamiento, que operan en tres niveles de generalidad: global, contextual y situacional. Este trabajo presenta el proceso de construcción y análisis psicométricos de la Escala de Motivación Situacional Académica desarrollada a partir de las hipótesis de la TAD y del Modelo Jerárquico de la Motivación Intrínseca y Extrínseca (MJMIE). Participaron del estudio 364 estudiantes (62.6 % mujeres, 37.4 % varones) de 18 a 35 años de edad (. = 22.97, DE = 3.00) de diversas carreras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Cinco jueces expertos analizaron evidencias de validez de contenido para los ítems y un grupo de alumnos aportó elementos para mejorar la validez aparente y la adecuación lingüística. Un análisis factorial exploratorio, a partir del método de Análisis Factorial de Rango Mínimo con rotación Oblimin directo, aisló una estructura trifactorial. La consistencia interna de las escalas se estimó mediante alfas ordinales, cuyos valores fueron en su totalidad adecuados. Las asociaciones significativas entre las escalas apoyaron la hipótesis teórica sobre el continuo propuesto en el modelo. Las correlaciones entre las escalas del instrumento con las de la Escala de Motivación Académica (Stover, de la Iglesia, Rial Boubeta y Fernández Liporace, 2012; Vallerand, Blais, Brierey Pelletier, 1989) fueron significativas al comparar dimensiones equivalentes y disímiles de ambas técnicas. Finalmente, se confeccionaron baremos para estudiantes universitarios locales. Los resultados, limitaciones, implicancias y líneas futuras de investigación se discuten a la luz del modelo de partida.

Motivation is considered an important factor for the success and maintenance of the practice in any sport. The objective of the study was to correlate the motivation and basic psychological needs of young basketball athletes who were in the initiation phase of sport. The research involved 53 athletes from the city of Maringá - Paraná - Brazil, with an average age of 13.25 years (PD 2.54 years). The instruments used in the research were the sport motivation scale and the exercise basic psychological needs questionnaire. The Spearman test was used for data analysis, assuming a significance level of 95 % (p

The present study sought to estimate validity indicators based on the internal structure and precision estimate of the adapted version of the Motivation Continuum, through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Participants were 391 students from the first to the third year of high school (M=17.6 years of age; SD=2.7), of both sexes, from two institutions in the state of Paraná. The CFA indicated the presence of the five factors in the Continuum, all with the same number of items. The internal consistency indices were considered acceptable and the instrument presented good fit indices. Significant positive and negative correlations were found between the factors, with magnitudes varying from small to large. The students were more extrinsically motivated by identified regulation. The results show important advances with regard to the psychometric indicators of a measure for assessing the motivational construct, considering its contribution to student learning.
